La Liga: Real Madrid Beat Sporting Gijon 2-1, Barca Held 1-1, Other Results and Table Standing
Real Vs Sporting Gijon 2-1
Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid extend their lead at the top of La Liga after scoring a brace to beat Sporting Gijon 2-1 on Saturday. Ronaldo bagged two goals in the first half of a game played under heavy rain at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlos Carmona hit back for relegation-threatened Sporting just before half-time, as the visitors gave Real more than one scare. Gijon even missed a penalty inside the final 15 minutes when Duje Cop fired high and wide from the spot.
Ultimately, Real held on to allow manager Zinedine Zidane to equal an unbeaten run set by former Los Merengues chief Carlo Ancelotti, according to ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan.
By holding on, Los Blancos stretch their lead to seven points over bitter enemy Barcelona, who play on Sunday.
Zidane picked a progressive 4-4-2 formation with Ronaldo and Karim Benzema up top, according to La Liga English.
Barcelona Vs Real Sociedad 1-1
Barcelona couldn't break the curse of the Anoeta during Sunday's 2016-17 La Liga fixture, as Real Sociedad held the Catalans to a 1-1 draw. The Blaugrana still haven't won in San Sebastian since 2007.
La Real dominated the first half, earning chance after chance but failing to open the score. Willian Jose gave the hosts a deserved lead early in the second half, but Lionel Messi struck back almost immediately.
Juanmi had a goal controversially disallowed in the late stages of the match, and La Real went closest with several chances in the dying minutes. No more goals were scored, however.
As the Catalans' official Twitter account shared, Rafinha was kept on the bench, with Andre Gomes keeping his place in the starting XI.
